Hi, It would be great if we could connect. And yes my parents always said we had Cherokee, but I have yet to prove it. Boyd line was supposed to have Indian heritage. I'm not sure about the Billingsleys or Turners but they were the ancestors of the Binyon line that was supposed to have had Cherokee also. Boyds: James J. Boyd m. Sarah "Sallie" Edison 1857 Searcy AR, daughter Ida Mae m. Stephens. Ida was supposed to be part Indian. (I have James' ancestors) Billingsleys: Tabitha Billingsley m. James Turner, daughter Lydia J. m. William B. Binyon 1843 Gibson Co. TN I have descendants and ancestors to share if we connect.
